# User groups

User groups allow you to organize users and manage access collectively. 
Instead of assigning [user attributes][ref-user-attributes] to individual users, you can add users to groups for easier management at scale. 
[Data access policies][ref-dap] can be configured based on groups to control [row-level security][ref-rls].

## Creating groups

To create a user group:

1. Navigate to <Btn>Admin → User Groups</Btn>
2. Click <Btn>Create Group</Btn>
3. Enter a group name and optional description
4. Add users to the group
